Finally got my rifle set up the way I want it.

[kentuckyMarksman]

After getting this rifle in 2012, and upgrading it the past couple of years, I finally got my rifle set up the way I want it. It's a Remington 700 SPS 26" 308 with a Jewel HVR, McMillan HTG Stock, Leupold 2 piece scope mount and rings, SWFA 5-20x50 Scope w/ mil adjustments, Harris 6-9" swivel bipod with notched logs, and a Triad Tactical cheek rest. I've got about 1,600 rounds down the tube and look forward to many more.

Sorry, Got the picture fixed.

Great looking rifle.

Not a lot of unnecessary stuff on there.

Bet it shoots great.

 

[kentuckyMarksman]

Thanks! Yeah, it's pretty simple. Shoots MOA, and sometimes a little under it depending on how I'm doing.

Nice rifle, glad you are enjoying it. You will have many options to upgrade in the future as well. I could see myself sticking it in a Grayboe Renegade, and maybe throwing a Remage prefit barrel on it! Turn that MOA in half-MOA.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with the McMillan stock on it right now. I could see myself using the Grayboe Renegade on another build though, with a Remage barrel. How well do the Grayboe stocks hold up? I've heard they aren't as tough as the McMillans.

Looks like a fine rifle. You should be proud!

Congrats!

Sorry, I didn't notice it was a McMillan stock, I thought it was just an HS Precision or something similar. If you like that style of stock, than I would recommend keeping it; McMillan stocks are great and you wouldn't be gaining anything by switching to Grayboe (except for adjustment features).

I wouldn't switch to Grayboe for the adjustments if I had a McMillian or Manners.

I'd just send it to someone who can add buttplate and comb adjusters to fiberglass stocks.

McMillan HTGs are great.

Just get that Triad stock pack to the correct height, You will need to supplement the additional velcro spacers most likely to do so, or build up a tape base.

This is my ultimate rifle, very similar to yours, to each his own....

Yeah, I'm keeping the HTG on this stock, I'm happy with it and the Triad Tactical cheek rest. It's set up to give me a great, repeatable cheek weld.

I'm thinking about doing a future 223 build with a Remage barrel, I'd be interested in a Grayboe stock for it since they are cheaper, I'm curious how they hold up though.

Nice set up there! Yes, it's very similar to mine. Looks like fun! I like the camo on that stock. What length barrel is that?

 

[pmclaine]

The barrel is about 21 inches from Bolt Face if I recall correctly.

Im a fan of the M40 series of rifles used by the USMC. This has details from just about every revision up to A5.

Here is 7 pages of obsession....
